13 Years Together a Journey

This week marked Jen and I's thirteenth anniversary.  We thought we would look at some of the changes we have had over the years through the numbers.
13 - years delivered this far on the promise to love till death do us part
12 - jobs we have had on the path to finding the one we are presently called to
11 - thousand kilometers separating us from our friends and family in the States
10 - higher education years that pale in comparison to life's lessons learned
 9 -  years of trial and error figuring out this enigma called parenthood
 8 -  hundred square feet of living space for soon to be five people, one-third of what we 
         lived in two years ago
 7 -  million, give or take a few thousand language mistakes since arriving in our new 
        country
 6 -  new ways of keeping in touch with people we love: Blog, Newsletter, Skype
         Magic Jack, Facebook and E-mail
 5 -  cities we have lived in as we have sought his perfect will for our lives
 4 -  grandparents whose love grows despite the distance between them and their 
         grandchildren 
 3 -  precious blessings named Kyleigh and Michaela, whom we have know for a while and 
         Wilson, whom we will meet soon
 2 -  people trusting desperately in ......
